I love all of this so much, especially the transparency of the nanny. Childcare is wild out here, and it's wild even WITH paid daycare/childcare/nanny services, which is what I think people don't get.

Jobs have to be flexible because there are so many moving parts, even with help, and so many people don't have the option to be flexible. It's why I stay mad about childcare in the US.

I do love the hair. I do a short shag myself with the same mentality. If I muss it, it looks better!

Gah, I do so love your posts for much needed normalization that is life with 3 little kids. 😂

And yes…I do so wish the reality of a working mom vs working dad was different. Alas. It’s where we’re at.

For me, I’ve gone the homeschool route, so I do get the tickles and cuddles and random love notes during the day. But the cost is I’m jealous of your gym dates. 😂 There is no perfect.

It is quite French to have a non-fussy hair style!

Hello! Have you tried the unbrush with your daughter(s)? Might be worth a shot, although they might still hate it. It’s the best brush for me or for kids I’ve ever used!

I’m very jealous of your haircut! Should I get a shorter haircut?! I always have to comb mine out and put some type of curl product in it or put it in a mom bun. Also jealous of the nice soap at your gym though I suppose if I could get my life together more I could bring my soap to the gym. During swim lessons my kids are unbothered by the antiseptic smelling soap at the Y but it gets to me! I like to work out at 9ish after dropping my kids off at 7:45. I do all the email and admin stuff sitting in my car at the gym but it works out bc I work with my dad who leaves for court daily at 8:30 am and I talk to my parents every morning about what we need to get done that day (my mom is our bookkeeper/office manager but we mostly work at our own homes).
